Ray Sander

Detroit

Description

Signed copy

"With a distance and a simplicity that can be misleading, Ray Sander is reappropriating the codes of the Californian sub-cultures. His paintings, like his car performances, only conserve the skeleton of the myth. The fact that he reuses familiar symbols brings our contemporary totems back to their primitive origins. Sander’s automobile is stripped of its utilitarian and symbolic functions; it’s a pure mechanism that he puts on the road. In front of his work, we find ourselves facing the manifestation of our own primitive culture."
